Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Right now, there's not much to get excited about at Kennebunk Beach. The whole 16-day stretch from July 4 through July 19 is looking pretty bleak. That sheltered beach break just isn't getting any love from the swell and wind combo. The water is sitting at 63°F, which is about normal for this time of year—nothing unusual there. But the waves? Tiny, short-period stuff, mostly from the SE, and the wind is almost always cross or cross-on, keeping things choppy and messy. There are a couple of mornings—like Tuesday July 7 and Wednesday July 8—where the wind turns offshore (NE, ENE) and the water cleans up, but the swell is either too small (1ft) or still weak (5ft with a short 7-second period). Even the best of those, Wednesday July 8 morning with 5ft from ESE and clean offshore wind, only gets a "surfable but very ordinary" nod. The combined energy hits 203 (moderate) that morning, but it's still not enough to call it a session. The rest of the days are just poor—gusty onshore winds, drizzle, and knee-high slop. For a break that's listed as fairly consistent, this is a frustrating run. But hey, forecasts can change, and it tends not to stay this flat for long. For now, leave the board at home. - Rusty

Information about the Kennebunk Beach Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Kennebunk Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Kennebunk Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Kennebunk Beach surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Kennebunk Beach) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Kennebunk Beach may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
